PLATFORM
Taunton is a city full of potential with strong neighborhoods, hardworking families, and a deep sense of community. I’m running for City Council to help shape a future where Taunton thrives as a place to live, work, and play. That means building a city that’s affordable, safe, and vibrant, where every resident has the opportunity to succeed and feel proud to call Taunton home.
LIVE
STRENGTHENING NEIGHBORHOODS & QUALITY OF LIFE
A city where people want to live is one that takes care of its residents at every stage of life.
That starts with:
Fiscal Responsibility & Effective Services: Ensuring your tax dollars are used efficiently to deliver core city services like road repairs, trash pickup, and public facilities.
Safe Streets and Strong Public Safety: Supporting police, fire, and EMS so every neighborhood feels safe—while also investing in community-based safety programs.
Housing That Works for Everyone: Encouraging thoughtful, sustainable housing development that addresses affordability, prevents displacement, and preserves neighborhood character.
Addressing the Opioid Crisis & Homelessness: Expanding access to treatment, shelter, and wraparound services with urgency and compassion.
Standing by Seniors & Veterans: Ensuring those who’ve given so much receive the respect and support they deserve—from housing and transportation to healthcare and community programming.
WORK
BUILDING AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE
For Taunton to grow, we need a strong economy that lifts everyone up.
That means:
Supporting Small Businesses: Cutting red tape, expanding access to city support, and listening to business owners—especially those in our downtown and village centers.
Economic Revitalization: Attracting new employers, promoting local hiring, and developing underused properties to generate tax revenue and jobs.
Workforce Development & Education: Partnering with local schools, colleges, and employers to prepare residents—especially young people—for good-paying careers right here in Taunton.
Public Infrastructure Investment: Upgrading roads, broadband, water systems, and city buildings to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s growth.
PLAY
A VIBRANT, CONNECTED, AND PROUD COMMUNITY
A great city isn’t just where you live or work—it’s where you belong.
I want Taunton to be a place full of energy, culture, and community pride:
Downtown & Village Revitalization: Reimagining our downtown and neighborhood centers as hubs of culture, food, retail, and gathering.
Youth & Recreation: Expanding programming, facilities, and support for sports, arts, and enrichment that give our kids safe and positive outlets.
Supporting Our Schools & Families: Advocating for strong public schools and afterschool programs that give every child a fair shot.
Celebrating Our Identity: Promoting local arts, festivals, and history that reflect Taunton’s unique spirit.
A City That Listens: Hosting regular listening sessions, walking every neighborhood, and bringing your voices into every decision.
